Kugutsu no Jutsu (傀儡の術, Puppetry Technique) is a Ninjutsu technique that allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.
Kin Ki (金気, Taste of Iron) is fighting style utilizing a meteor hammer, or more specifically, Ido Nazokake's Hiduchi. All chain-based weapons tend to be handled in a similar fashion, however the Hiduchi is unique in a few respects. Firstly, it has no handle and secondly it is weighted at only one end, allowing much more effective control over its movement. Even at a most basic level, the Hiduchi may be seen as unpredictable and confusing to try to follow, making it very effective in combat. There are a variety of techniques associated with using a meteor hammer, some of which are:
The meteor may be thrown, while holding the chain to enable its retrieval. This is a highly unpredictable form of attack, often used effectively to catch an opponent off guard. A throw can be initiated quickly and efficiently by a skilled fighter, with a simple pull in the correct direction.
A correctly placed throw can cause the meteor to wrap itself around an object and grab it. If done correctly, the meteor will wrap over itself and ensnare a weapon, an object or even an opponent's limb. Alternatively, if the meteor does not wrap over itself, it can be used to spin an object, providing a helpful way of swiftly disorienting an opponent.
Sometimes referred to as "storm from above", one powerful attack involves a wide overhead arc, resulting in a vertical strike. Difficult to counter, but relatively easy to simply dodge, this attack can be repeated a number of times similarly to a techniques used with a bō.
The swing is a simple side attack, capable of tripping an opponent. A basic move to learn, but a difficult one to master, being as a horizontal swing can very easily backfire and injure the one wielding the meteor.
Further moves include blocks, short strikes, figure eight motions, locks and holds. It is also possible to use many of the same techniques common to the nunchaku, by bouncing the chain off the body or even other objects for even more unpredictability.
Kinkuzu Ryū (金屑流, Scrap Metal Style) is fighting style utilized by Ido Nazokake. This method is known as the art of bone-breaking, as many of the techniques are designed to break the neck, arms, wrists and other appendages. This style is combined with the Kin Ki and uses hard, fast strikes to vital points throughout the body, takedowns involving high impact throws and many joint and limb destruction techniques--usually as follow-ups to takedowns.
Character Use: Kankurō, Sasori, Chiyo, Ido Nazokake
